Can we have a list of who's doing what to their bikes please? I need to know what tools may be needed to bring along. Jamie are still intending doing your forks. Shall I bring my fork oil level syringe? and do you have a long hex (allen) socket for the bottom of the fork leg?

Nice one chaps :thumbup:

I have got a great biking buddy, not only has he offered to help with tea/coffee he has also offered the use of his giant gazebo/marquee!

Carl, I am going to leave the fork bushes for now, but can you bring your oil level syringe please? I'd like to do the following:

1- check fork oil air gap

2- balance carbs

Most important part is the the brass adapter.

And if you get a couple of blanking plugs which you will see at the checkout, you could end up like this http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 30#p259491

And you need a T Piece which you can get from Halfords

Carbtune are exceptionally fast on delivery. Highly recommended.
